We'd love to help out.

You're right! Pfft. Hmm. Ah, that's because
planner-cyclic-create-tasks-maybe is called _before_ the tasks are
carried over. I need to find a more elegant way to deal with this.
Here's something I've just committed for the procrastinator in all of
us: "C" status, for cancelled tasks. Turn
#A0 _ Task
into
#A0 C Task
and you don't have to worry about it being carried over, but it's not
marked completed either.

Hmm. Quick workaround: create some tasks with C status. (We'll
probably want to tweak the sort order and the highlighting, then.)
Can you think of a nice way to indicate this in plain text?

Now you get to see all the tasks you've cancelled, instead of just
deleting the task... =)
Also, recently committed change makes planner-cyclic not rewrite past
pages. This should prevent old deleted tasks from popping up again.
